I know that we are all still in rapture from the Presidential  inauguration today, but if you want to start doing some community service, get out to the Dance Film Lab tonight at Dance Theater Workshop (219 West 19th Street, btw 7th & 8th Aves). This is a free event, and you will provide several dance film-makers with very valuable insight and feedback on their works-in-process. Zach Morris is a most gracious moderator and the conversation is always positive and lively!

Calling all dance film-makers:

To close out this year’s Dance On Camera Festival, the Dance Films Association is holding a Town Hall Meeting for the Dance on Camera Community on Saturday January 17th from 4-7pm taking place in the Gallery at Walter Reade Theater (Lincoln Center Plaza on 65th Street btw Broadway and Amsterdam).

The meeting will begin with a half hour panel discussion led by Marlon Barrios-Solano dedicated to new on-line platforms for screendance with representatives from Kaltura and TenduTV. Following this, you are invited to participate in an open discussion about dance film issues that are important to you (moderated by Zach Morris from the Dance Film Lab). After the meeting, you are invited to continue the conversation informally over coffee/tea at the nearby Le Pain Quotidien at 60 West 65th Street.

In conjunction with this event, I have collaborated with DFA to produce an artist survey of the field.  If you are unable to attend, we would still like to get your input to help us improve our services and programs for you. Whether you are currently making dance for screen, or thinking about doing so, we want to hear from you about what your needs and interests are. Please take a moment to participate in this brief online survey.

Take this survey

Thank you for your participation, your feedback is very important to us. We look forward to compiling the results and will share them with you here in the early spring.

Next Tuesday (Sept 2nd) I’ll be showing brand new footage from my latest videodance project, Fünf ‘n’ Twist. Two weeks ago I shot the prom scenes for this surreal Busby Berkeley-esque, satire that oozes with kitschy Americana, German expressionism, and Jungian symbology. Come see what a raw videodance looks like before it gets cooked!

As the miasma of the web can be all-consuming, I’m taking a moment from my youtube wanderings to report locally on what’s happening right here and now in NYC with videodance. If you aren’t in the New York area, I’d also like to hear and post about happenings in your neck of the woods, so feel free to email me with news of screenings, events, forums, workshops and the like.

First off, for anybody who is seeking feedback on their work, or interested in watching and discussing videodance with a great group of folks, you should head to Williamsburg this Tuesday for the next Dance Film Lab:

Dance Film Lab
